Three Lion Brownies

1: Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.

2: Put the butter, syrup, and sugar in a saucepan. Set it over medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.

3: Take the saucepan off the heat and add the broken chocolate pieces. Leave for a few minutes to melt.

4: Stir the melted chocolate until smooth, then add the vanilla extract.

5: Chop the three Lion bars into pieces and set aside.

6: Beat the eggs into the brownie mixture until thick and velvety.

7: Fold in the flour until fully combined, then mix through the rice crispies and chopped Lion bars.

8: Transfer the brownie mixture into a lined 23cm square tin and level the surface with a spatula.

9: Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, until risen and firm to the touch.

10: Leave to cool completely in the tin, then refrigerate until firm enough to cut.

11: Cut into 5 rows of 3 pieces (approx 7x4cm rectangles).

12: To decorate, dust the flat side of 3 evenly shaped brownies with icing sugar and wrap with strawberry laces to resemble the England Flag. Place these on top of the other brownies before serving.
